Christmas Light Expedition: TEXAS Style!!!

I got a chance to go see Christmas lights with Tabatha this evening. It was pretty interesting!!

Not a Christmas in Texas without a cactus, right?


I liked the little sheep in this one.


This won the prize for the best yard. . .it was never-never land from Peter Pan!



Definitely my favorite Santa decoration!!!  ;)

Garmisch. . .in the Sunshine!!

Earlier I posted pictures of a day trip I took to Garmisch, but the day was cloudy and snowy. Little did I know what great views I was to encounter on a sunny day!



We actually went to the village for the Christmas market, but I was so disappointed in what was there that I didn't even take any pictures.  NOT worth visiting in the future, but the mountains were great!





So many buildings had murals on them. . .
. . .made me wonder if the artist lived in town??

German Christmas Market Fun

Pretty self-explanitory, but I visited 4 different Christmas Market locations in Munich, and got these pics.
Rosenheimerplatz, my favorite, and what I thought was the most traditional looking one




My favorite decoration I saw. . .a Christmas Market decoration!


Our first view of Marienplatz











First view of Tollwood
Cool bike Christmas tree. . .it was connected to bikes on the bottom, and if you pedaled hard enough . . .
. . .it would light up!


Odeonsplatz
This one had a little area just for kids, with various stories depicted, or Christmas scenes
